    So im thinking of trying to get alot of parts for my car (355) since they will be hard to find in the upcoming years. Does anyone know where to find a list of parts made by other mfg...e.g.brakes are porsche, alternator is saab(?), window mechanism is audi.....not sure about this, but I hear alot of parts are actually made by other mfg and you can find them on other cars.

    Ferrari makes the engine, some transmission parts/assembly, welds the frame and subframe together, makes some of the interior (not the steering wheel!), and makes all of the outer body panels.

    Everything else is third party/aftermarket, from windshield to cats to exhaust to spark plugs, to computers, to valves, A/C, hoses, sensors, clutches, wheels/tires/brakes, etc.

    They might not manufacturer many of the items, but a large percentage are proprietary/contract specs that you simply can't purchase directly from Bosch or Marelli, or whomever. Some are, some aren't.

    I wouldn't worry about running out of 355 parts. I haven't found a single F355 item that is difficult to source.

    So that's why you made the center console overlays?!

    A/C vents? A/C computers? Bearings? Tranny gears/shafts?

    I typed a nice long reply, but then deleted it.

    I'll just go sleep on it and reassess my mood in the morning.
